[MIDNIGHT] Now, the Infinity Clock is in our possession.
And very soon, the Amplitude Limiters will be released.
[JACKPOT] So let's hurry up and finish the churches! [cackles]
[RACER] More destruction... the end of everything.
[COBRA] The end is coming. Just one more
piece to the puzzle, and we can open up the gates of hell.
[ERIGOR] It's weak. The gathering storm of carnage
is far too weak.
[MIDNIGHT] Yes... The Infinity Clock lacks a crucial component.
If great power is what we truly desire,
there is a great price to be paid...
We must make the proper sacrifice.
We can all attest to that fact.
Go forth! We'll move the hands of time...
Forcing them onward until this world is history!
♪
[MACAO] The Oración Seis... I was hoping I'd never
hear that name again.
I reckon that's why ol' Makarov was summoned
by the Ten Wizards Saints?
Mmm...
Our guild was responsible for
their members' arrests following the Nirvana incident.
And now it appears that they've escaped from prison.
While we were asleep for those seven years,
they got a lot stronger.
We were so utterly hopeless against them
this last time.
I couldn't do a single thing to help.
I'm too weak!
Sorry... I'm the one to blame for all of this.
Please don't be so hard on yourself, Michelle...
Don't you remember what Natsu said before?
My dad dumped all this crazy stuff on us
and expected us to figure it out without any explanation.
Do you even know how your father managed to
get himself involved in all this business
with the Infinity Clock in the first place?
No clue... unfortunately.
[ERZA] That mystery can be solved at a later time.
Our highest priority at the moment is to locate the members
of the Oración Seis...
And from there, recover the Infinity Clock.
Well, then let's get movin'!
All we gotta do is start looking everywhere we can think of,
and we're bound to run into them eventually, right?
Don't be stupid... We need to come up with
a solid plan of action before we do anything.
What?! Who are you callin' stupid?
All I'm sayin' is if we wanna find them,
we gotta get out there and look!
I called you stupid, flame-for-brains!
Because only a complete idiot would go running around
with no strategy!
[JUVIA] Oh Gray, you're amazing!
I love a man who's willing to fight for what he believes in!
[HAPPY] Get the Infinity Clock!
[WENDY] Everybody is really on edge today.
[CARLA] Well, how do you expect them to feel?
We don't know what to do.
And we're still missing some key players.
[MAX] Yeah, Gildarts and Laki haven't come back
from their mission yet.
At times like these... We need strength from
every single person in this guild.
[door opens]
[BIXLOW] Yo! What's goin on?! The Thunder Legion
has returned victorious!
Of course, it really wasn't such a struggle
for a team as good as ours. These jobs can be such
an easy payday sometimes, it's almost criminal.
[FRIED] Excuse me... but is there a problem here?
[BIXLOW] Okay... So something called the "Infinity Clock"
is counting down to the end of the world?
I swear, we leave for a couple of days and things
go downhill fast.
My, what unfortunate timing.
Had we still been here, I'm sure we could've easily dispatched
the Oración Seis without much of a fuss.
Actually, while we were on our mission...
[FRIED] I was out in the marketplace
getting ingredients for our next meal.
I hope for their sake you weren't makin'
'em eat more of those nasty wingfish.
[FRIED] While I was there, I overheard some soldiers
talking about the destruction of churches in Sheerotsume.
Two the suspects were spotted fleeing the scene...
A hooded man carrying a large scythe and his accomplice
who possessed incredible speed.
I can think of two bad guys who fit
that description perfectly.
[NATSU] Erigor and Racer!
[HAPPY] Except now he call himself the "Grim Reaper".
[FRIED] From what I could gather, the attacks on churches
have suddenly intensified in the past several days.
I don't understand why you never bothered to tell me
or Evergreen about any of this stuff!
I told you over dinner that same night.
I can only assume you were too enraptured by my cooking
to pay very close attention.
But why target churches?
I still don't see any clear motive for it.
All I know... is that ever since
the Oración Seis got their grubby little hands on
the Infinity Clock, things have gotten a whole lot worse.
[strained breathing]
[COBRA] I can hear them. There are four churches
in this area. The priests have already been taken away.
And the guards don't have a clue of what's really going on.
It sounds like it's the perfect time
for more boom-boom-kaboom! Let's get this party started!
Oh yes! Carnage! Destruction!
I don't see why we're still standing around
talking about it
when we'd rather be having as much fun as yesterday.
What fun? I can't seem to remember anything
that happened to us yesterday.
It's not necessary for you to remember anything.
Just do as we tell you and nothing more.
I see... I will carry out the instructions
that I am given.
We've wasted too much time already. Let's move.
[SOLDIERS yell]
It's the Oración Seis!
Now men! We must defend the church!
For these wretched and miserable souls...
Cost, twenty. Bow and tremble before an Angel's glory!
[SOLDIERS scream in fear]
[explosion]
[SOLDIER yells]
[panicked breathing]
Concealment magic, huh?
What a pathetic little trick!
[ANGEL] How unsophisticated...
[COBRA] Maybe so, but our job here is done.
What about the Anti-Link?
[ANGEL] That's been done as well... Ah Cobra,
always so cold and direct.
But those are the two things I admire most about you.
She's all I cared about, but she's gone.
Pulled from my hands. And all I have now... is nothing.
Nothing but delicious power; that is.
Power from misery. The sorrow that consumes
my soul is the only thing still driving me forward.
The pain can only end when the world itself ends.
There is no other way.
Yes... We must take our strength from wherever
we can until our ultimate goal has been reached.
Our failures and regrets...
All those years of pain and suffering we've endured...
Those are the very things that define
the Neo-Oración Seis.
[snake hisses]
[gasps] Kinana?
Hold on, now! You're in no shape to be
walkin' around.
What's wrong? Do you need some help?
[WAKABA] You better get back in bed and rest.
That strange look in her eyes...
[KINANA] We've wasted... too much time already...
Let's move...
Power from misery. The sorrow that consumes my soul...
is the only thing still driving me forward.
[MICHELLE] Kinana, stop!
[KINANA] The pain can only end... When the world...
itself ends...
My lord. The Legion Platoon
is here as you requested.
I've summoned you here for but one reason...
To inform you that your power will be considerably greater
as of today.
You mean, like, we're gonna be getting
a couple of new members on the team or something?!
Is that it?
Yes. The archbishop himself has
requested this addition. Just one member.
Handpicked from an extremely select group.
Great Zentopia Prison's "Forbidden Cell".
What kind of person are we dealing with here?
[heavy, metallic clanging]
He's... a demon.
What in the heck is that thing?!
I don't know. But... he's, like, not even human!
[GUTMAN] Hey there gang! Ol' Gutman Kubrick
is here and ready to play!
[MARY] He's totally inside my head!
[BYRO] It's telepathy.
[DAN] And he sounds so bizarre!
[GUTMAN roars]
[GUTMAN] That doesn't hurt a big boy like me!
Gutman Kubrick is the master of Rupture Magic.
His power is known throughout Fiore.
They call him, Gutman the Cleaner.
[GUTMAN] Sorry... That was kinda rude of me.
This thing...
will be joining my beloved Legion Platoon?
Indeed he is, whether you like it or not.
[growls]
[footsteps]
[GILDARTS] Yep, this is one big farm, all right...
Nothing but fields and pastures as far as the eye can see.
The days of growing crops are over.
They've withered on the vine much like those
who once worked this land... It would be a distant memory,
that is, if there were anyone left to remember.
Now, this once majestic estate is nothing more than
a window into the past.
[GILDARTS] So, long story short...
What you're sayin' is, it's been a while since
anybody lived here.
This is the place where Michelle grew up.
The Lobster Family Plantation.
[GILDARTS] On the other hand...
Time has been very kind to you over the past few years,
if you know what I'm saying.
[LAKI] I know exactly what you're saying,
and I'm going to tell Cana you said that.
[GILDARTS] Aw, c'mon! I was just trying to pay you
a compliment.
[BYRO] So the Oración Seis were the ones
behind the church attacks. Are you absolutely sure of this,
your eminence?
[LAPOINTE] I am. And although their ultimate objective
remains a mystery to us, it is fair to assume
these blasphemous acts will continue.
[grumble]
Uhhh... If you don't mind me asking a small favor.
Dan!
You have a request? Please share.
If we're able to stop the Oración Seis,
in return, will you let Coco out of jail?
I mean, we know going against church doctrine is,
like, totally a major big deal.
[MARY] But Coco has been a part of Zentopia her whole life.
The church practically raised her!
Seriously, If you can forgive her,
I know she'd be mega useful to the archbishop.
We may consider it... But that decision
hinges on you completing this mission.
[GUTMAN] Turn that frown upside down...!
You kids have your best buddy Gutman with you now!
So don't worry your silly widdle heads.
Everything's gonna be just peachy.
Quit talking to us like children, would ya?
[MALE SOLDIER D] Your Eminence.
[LAPOINTE] If you'll excuse me, I'm afraid something
rather urgent has come up.
[LAPOINTE] I apologize for the wait.
[LAHAR] Cardinal Lapointe.
[LAPOINTE] You're with
the Magic Council's Custody Enforcement Unit.
What can I help you with today?
This matter concerns members of the Oración Seis...
Namely those who we had in custody until recently.
I'm sure word of their escape has reached you.
There is one small point of fact I'd like to confirm...
While they were incarcerated, it seems that a certain individual
from your organization paid them visits on a somewhat
regular basis.
It's possible he was connected to the break-out.
[LAPOINTE] I won't stand for such baseless accusations.
The prison break was solely the Council's blunder.
Placing blame on our sacred institution is an outrage.
The very thought of it is offensive.
You're on dangerous ground.
Failure to tread lightly here could lead
to serious repercussions.
[LAHAR] That was unsettling... His attitude makes it clear
that something sinister is afoot.
I'm going to need some help from an old friend.
[MAX] What does all this mean?
[WENDY] Does anybody know what the writing says?
[CARLA] Her mumblings strike me as particularly ominous.
Piece to the puzzle... and then we can open up
the gates of hell.
Do you think maybe she's finally remembering
something from her past?
Yeah, maybe... Now that you mention it,
it seems like it was bothering her a lot lately.
[LUCY] Before she came to Fairy Tail, Kinana was under
some kind of curse.
[MICHELLE] Poor thing.
Hey... This is ancient Potamelian!
[WAKABA] This stuff too?
[MACAO] Just like on the clock hand!
How strange... It appears to be a description
of a man named Will Neville.
Are you serious?
He's the author of "Key of the Starry Heavens".
[HAPPY and NATSU] Huh?!
Okay... This is a pretty rough translation...
But It says, "Will Neville was once a great wizard
who made contracts with many Celestial Spirits and
was remarkably skilled in using them."
Contracts with Celestial Spirits?
So he was both an author and a Celestial wizard
to boot... Interesting.
And It goes on to say... "In life,
Will Neville had numerous followers.
However, after he fell into his eternal slumber,
his pupils scattered in all directions to places unknown."
What's that for?
I think it can help us.
It's a biographical encyclopedia. Let's see...
Here it is!
[LUCY] "Will Neville... An author... and a cardinal...
of Zentopia?"
So he was a bird?
A cardinal is a high-ranking church official.
Uh... According to this, he was a very
dedicated and prominent member of the church.
He was also the most extensive researcher
on Zentopia's history.
That is... until the day he suddenly left
the church and went missing for quite a long time.
Does it explain why he left?
[LUCY] No, it doesn't.
But apparently, several years after he disappeared,
he re-emerged into the public eye as Will Neville,
the author of children's literature.
But there's no mention of him being
a Celestial wizard in here... Or that he had any kind
of following.
[MAX] This whole thing is freaking me out.
I don't understand how Kinana would know stuff
about him that's not in the encyclopedia.
And how in the heck does she know how to write
in that weird ancient language?
I remember the captain of the Legion Platoon
said that the Infinity Clock was the property of Zentopia.
And a prominent former member of that church
also wrote the "Key of the Starry Heavens"...
The book your father used to pass on his message about
how to find the clock pieces.
[NATSU] I can't stand it anymore!
What in the heck are we gonna do about all of this crap?
I say we head out right now, find this Milk Devil guy
and beat the ever-lovin' snot outta him!
Will Neville has been dead for a long time!
Leave the thinkin' to the grownups!
[JUVIA] Don't back down, my darling Gray!
If we could somehow figure out where the Oración Seis
was going to strike next, we could be waiting there
to ambush them.
Ugh, would ya keep it down?
I'm trying to get my beauty sleep.
Dontcha think it's a little late for that, Cana?
You've practically been asleep all day!
Yeah, but I just can't seem to wake up
for some reason, y'know? Now...
do you boys and girls wanna find the Oración Seis, or what?
That's right! You can use your fortunetelling!
Oh, you bet I can!
[MALE SOLDIER E] Don't give up your ground, men!
[MALE SOLDIER F] Archers, ready!
Release!
Too slow. Way too slow. [chuckles]
[gasp]
The storm grows stronger now,
as lightning rips through the clouds!
[JACKPOT] Slot Magic! I think we've got another winner
on our hands! Holy cow, would ya look at that?
Lightning bonus! Talk about a hot payoff!
It's silent... There are no more vessels
to be found in this part of the country.
[ANGEL] Time is running out very quickly...
And we will do whatever we can to speed it forward.
[COBRA] I'd be willing to do more if they would
bring her back to me.
[ANGEL] Now, now Cobra... You mustn't forget that
our orders come first.
[ROMEO] There we go, all set! You think that's gonna
work for ya?
It's Perfect! Now I'll divine where the Oración Seis
will attack next. And, which of us are gonna go there
and throw them a nice, little surprise party!
I see it!
So that's all it takes, huh?
Um-hmm.
[CANA] That's it. If we send these teams
to these locations... We can stop the attacks
and save some lives.
[NATSU] Cool! So tell us who's working with who,
and where we're goin'!
[MWithout further ado... The first is a two-man team...
Composed of Gray and Fried!
How interesting. I've often wondered if our
magic styles might complement each other.
I gotta admit, I've wondered that myself.
Your Enchantments and my Ice Maker Magic could
be a pretty awesome combination!
Next up! We've got Erza and Evergreen!
Let's just hope that they'll be able
to get along for once.
Yeah, no kidding; Evergreen's always treated
Erza like they're in some kinda competition.
Oh... You too, Max.
I'm on their team?!
This is fabulous. Now we can finally settle
the matter once and for all.
We'll see who is worthy of the "Queen of the Fairies" title!
The goal of our mission is to track down
the Oración Seis, but I'll gladly take you on
anytime after that.
Now, ladies, remember we have to work together
as a team. Let's try our best to get along. Okay?
[MACAO] The next team is Gajeel and Juvia!
Both ex-Phantom Lord guild members working
on the same team?
Oh no! Why must I and my darling Gray
be kept apart yet again?! Why must fate continue to be
so incredibly cruel to us?!
Next up... Bixlow and... Wendy!
Alright little lady this is gonna be
a real blast! I am psyched!
Yeah... I'm looking forward to working with you.
We'll be a great team!
Sweet! And don't you forget that my babies
are gonna be on the team with us!
[TOMMENS] Go team!
Alright! This one's got Happy, Carla,
and Pantherlily!
Aye! The Exceed Squad
is back together again!
Well, aside from Lily... I'm not entirely sure
we would fare well against such a powerful enemy.
And, for the last team!
It's Natsu, Lucy, Elfman, and Michelle!
So let's go!
We're the only four-person team?
This is great! We're together!
I couldn't have picked a better teammate than you!
And that's all! Hey! Does this mean
I gotta stay behind again?!
[ROMEO] Aw, man! I wish I was goin' with you guys!
[JUVIA] There must be some way you and I can be
on a team together! Gajeel, you have to switch
with him right this instant!
No way... My Divination magic told me this was
the best pairing for the mission that you've been given.
In that case, why don't you just let me
switch places with Fried instead?!
Because that's the same thing.
I don't think I can even remember a time
when you and I haven't been on a team together, Natsu.
Oh crap! What the heck am I gonna do
if I need to fly around?!
[COCO] Really...? So you're a survivor from
one of those horrible church attacks?
[MALE PRIEST A] Yes, and soon after that happened I
went into hiding for a while.
But then they found me...
and put me in this prison cell.
I don't understand why you were imprisoned
after what you've been through.
[MALE PRIEST A] I was in their crosshairs for
two reasons. First, because I am the parish priest...
And second...
I refuse to tell Cardinal Lapointe what
he wants to know. So he'll interrogate or silence me.
But what do you mean by that?
[footsteps]
[LAPOINTE] You filthy traitor. At last, we finally meet.
[MALE PRIEST A] Your Eminence!
You'd be wise to tell me
the names of Will Neville's followers.
[LAPOINTE] This is the fate that befalls those who dare
defy Zentopia... No...
The fate of those who dare to defy me.
So pay attention.
[bones cracking]
[MALE PRIEST A screams]
[LUCY] As far as fortunetelling goes.
Cana is the best there is. She's almost always dead on!
♪
[HAPPY] You may be the brawn of the operation,
but I am definitely the brains!
[NATSU] Whoa, back up! What did you say?!
You don't seriously think you're the brains, do you?
[HAPPY] Yeah! That is, like, so obvious!
[NATSU] Sorry but I would never call you "the brains"!
[HAPPY] Oh yeah?! Well, then tell me Mister Smarty Pants,
what would you call me?
[NATSU] If I had to answer, I guess I'd say you're the mascot.
[NATSU and HAPPY] Next time: Dissonance of Battle!
The mascot, huh? That actually sounds pretty cool to me!
[NATSU] Didn't expect you to be so positive about it.
[HAPPY] Come on, we all know I'm not cut out to be the brains.
